Girls In Action

Girls In Action is for:

Girls only, ages 12-18

Girls In Action is BNB’s all-girls program. Just like our co-ed Earn-A-Bike program, Girls In Action (GIA) combines bicycle mechanics and riding and is a great way for girls aged 12-18 to learn new things, make friends, get active and earn a bike of their own! In addition to mechanics, GIA offers fitness, safety, and environmental activities, as well as weekly workshops or field trips! You might visit an urban farm, learn how to do henna tattoos, or do community service, all while meeting other cool girls and learning how to completely rebuild a bike.

Girls In Action is an intensive program, and runs Monday through Thursday from 4 pm to 7 pm each day. Youth without schedule conflicts are given preference.

No experience in biking or mechanics is necessary to apply and as with Earn-A-Bike, every program graduate will ride away on her very own refurbished bicycle!
